Lunar Eclipse Super Blood Moon...

Did you miss it?

The event that takes place about every 33 years? 

The Lunar Eclipse Super Blood Moon.

Well, it's your lucky day!! I have the most beautiful picture taken from Sam's telescope of the moon. It was absolutely amazing and breath taking!!! The four of us had a fabulous time checking out this "once" in a lifetime event!! Stunning!!

 

Ok. I may have stretched the truth a little...our life is not a daily Christmas card by any means!!

Let me share the real story of our  viewing of the Moon...

I was laying in bed flipping through instagram. Jack was a good hour into his sleeping...Sam and Jason were laying in bed too, watching football. While flipping through instagram, I noticed several pictures of the Lunar Eclipse Super Blood Moon. 

Me: Hey guys, I think we missed the Lunar Eclipse Super Blood Moon.Did you hear about it?

Jason: I'm so over that. Remember last year when we waited to see the super moon? Nothing. 

Me: True.

(continue flipping through instagram)

Me: There sure are a lot of people posting pictures of the moon. Did you know it was an eclipse? Oh wow, it's reddish orange, too.

 (continue flipping through instagram)

Me: Guys, I think we are missing something here. Why didn't I know about this???  Look, Sarah Jessica Parker even posted pictures!!

Sam: If you want to see it, why don't you go outside and look?

Me: I'm too comfortable and don't want to get up.

Jason: And there you go, Sam.

Sam: I'll go out and look.

Sam leaves and shortly comes back,

Sam: I couldn't make it off the porch. I think I heard something in the bushes. 

Me: Yea, those rabbit are vicious.

Jason: I'll go out with you.

Both guys leave.

Sam comes back breathing hard.

Sam: You have to come out and see it. It's pretty cool.

Me: Why are you breathing hard?

Sam: Dad told me to run inside and get you because it's going to go away.

Me: Are you sure you guys aren't going to scare me?

Sam: No! Come on!!!

I very reluctantly get up and head outside to see the super moon. When we get outside Jason yells, "Hurry Up!! You will miss it!" (I think we already had and I don't think the moon moves that fast!)

I look up. 

Me: Wow, that is pretty cool!

And here are my pictures:

Welcome to real life and the our viewing of the Super Lunar Blood Moon. Maybe next time....Oh, and Sam doesn't have a telescope. Actually, we don't even own a telescope.
